It was enough to convince me to finally stop measuring Pernod with an eyedropper and just put it in an empty Ango bottle for ready dashing. I also dash allspice dram that way. The part about different bitters bottles having different sized holes is an important consideration and I am much more careful about drop by drop measurements with some of my other butters bittles whose dash volume I don't trust.
